People have asked me why I do this show, or who I do it for.
I do it because it feels good to unpack my thoughts. I also do it for:
The person who’s
Having a panic attack but doesn’t understand why
Backing down from an argument instead of standing their ground
Trying to figure out how to fill the shoes of a lost parent
Holding on to something they want but haven’t appreciated
Setting boundaries
The person who’s
Focused on the destination without appreciating the journey
Taking too much responsibility
Remembering their first love
Looking for validation
Explaining their love story to people who don’t understand
The person who’s
Remembering the sacrifices their parents made
Learning to justify their opinions
Appreciating an important lesson learned
Expressing themselves without reservation
Growing out of their faith
Seeing the effort instead of the result
The person who’s
Realizing that they’ve missed the point
Expressing gratitude toward someone who inspired them
Refusing to give up
Wanting to give when all they can do is receive
Telling their best friend how much they are loved
Finding the meaning of life
The person who’s
Accepting their limitations
Saying they’re OK when they’re actually not
Choosing to make things right instead of apologizing
Missing their grandfather
Making something out of nothing
Looking for the courage to say I love you
The person who’s
Softening their heart because there’s more to the story than they realized
Writing a letter to their younger self
Going through some changes
Embracing their demons
Falling in love
The person who’s
Learning that they’re more super than their heroes
Waking up from a profound dream
Following instead of leading
Getting comfortable with the passage of time
Adjusting their attitude
The person who’s
Mourning a loss
Looking at themselves
Learning to accept criticism
or Trying one more time
I do it for you.
